From the Commodore

Staying at a wonderful Backpackers here in Wellington another night to
continue seeing the 6 story museum. We got 2 1/2 stories done yesterday
but the main floor is just food and stuff and the 5th floor is closed
til the end of March so only 1 1/2 floors left. We're going to do
laundry today, get some groceries, do some planning for the North
Island, pay bills, etc.

The dolphins were amazing
and once I get a proper mask I'll go again. My mask kept filling the
nose piece with water and I kept panicking and trying to clear it and
climbing on the boat to clear it with no success so I didn't spend as
much time in the water as I would have liked. We were in a super pod
that day 400+ Dusky dolphins, all ages, sizes with males doing courting
dances which was so incredible. I could have stayed out all day
watching them!
